  No way, man...The Multia (indeed, and every other 21066-based machine I've
seen) is slower than pissing tar.  I have an article about it somewhere,
something about memory references int he 21066 being icky-slow or something.
The '10 will definitely run rings around it.

  For a small and cheap Alpha, in my opinion, the 3000/300 can't be beat.  I've
never run them as workstations, only on shelves in racks as servers, but they
do just fine.
